ARRANGINGSHAFTS AND PULLEYs AT AN ANGLE.

specificati@ of `Letters intent No. 121,802, `dated May 1, 1855.

To all 'whom t may concern invented a new` and useful I mpro-vementin Arranging the Bearings of `Driviiig-.Pulleys and Gear-Wheels with theirAxis of Motion Oblique to the Shaft `which Drives Them;

and I do herebydeclare that the following is i `a full, clear, :and: exactdescription of the construction and operationofthe same, reference being had to thefannexedidrawings,

``rnakin`g"` a part, ofthis spficification,`

This `improvement consistsin a cheap and if convenient Inode of arranging the bearings of" shafts and pulleysyor` gearI wheels'whe'n `their axes of y "eachother/ o y Y,

` Modes of communicating motionlfor; axes y motionforma fixed angle with which are variable inadirection with respect as enchainer `Newell.lemen but my improvement relates to` a simple arrangement when such motion is to be given to axes "havinga constant and fixedangle,v

.i P, is a pulleyhavingfthe boreor hole in i. the center largeron one side than` on the other. The "larger `part of saidbore extends through that portion ofthe Vhub which is included between the-planes of thesides of said pulley, P, andthat portion of the hub which extends beyond the plane on one side has the smaller bore initleaving that portion "of the hub"included between .the size o-f theholes inthat` end of ithe hub, in this i there isaslot out acrossthe center the ends of which extend as far asthe outside the "nal this `part extendsthrough the` box and i stud on the box and there is a hole in it just outside of where a line drawn at right angles toits center `willclear theend of said stud in this holetherein a pin, B, whose length is not quite equal `to the diameter ofthe i larger` part of the bore :in the pulley P.

N, isa `box and has a stud on one side of it Pand a hole extending" through it `and the stud. Thecenters Of. the hole and stud are in a: plane parallel with the faces of the box,

" N, but the `planes thati pass through their i "centers and at right anglesto the faces of ,the box, N, are inclinedto each other and when the shaft,`W, is passed `through the hole inbox, N, andzthe end brought to its i place, these planes meetor cross each other in the centers of said hole,in shaft, W, when it is placed in range or parallel with them; said vstud is of the same size as the larger part of the bore in said pulley, P which `ts on toit and the smaller part of the bore is a little larger than the journal on shaft, W, and the inside and outside edges or corners at the ends of the smaller part of ,said bore are removed leaving only a small portion inthe center where the pin works. This is necessary on account of the Obliquity of the axis of the shaft,l W, to the axis' of motion of therpulley, P, when working on the stud, and when itis desired to drive another shaft instead of the pulley, P, the coupling `on the end of the shaft should be `made to take `the place of the. hub of the pulley, P.

The operation of this improvement is as "follows-.the end of the shaft, W, being passed through the box, N, and stud and the pin, B, put in the hole in shaft, W, as described and the pulley, P, being placed on the stud the pin,` B, enters the slot in the end of the hub and when motion is communicated to the shaft, W, the pin, B, passing through it and its ends extending into the slot in the hub of pulley,P, the pin, B, takes hold of the pulley, P, and causes it to turn around as the shaft, W, is turned around while its axis Of motion is oblique to the shaft, W, which drives it.

I do notclaim communicatingv motion when the axes form an angle with each other by mea-ns of across head or pin attached to one axis moving within grooves or slots attached to the parts of the other axes or pulley as that is well known; but

What I do elaimas my invention and def sire to secure by Letters Patent is- The above described mode of arranging the bearings consisting of the stud or projec-
